Loch Ard trails. Bright & breezy with some heavy grey cloud. Few butterflies about, whites, orange tips, maybe fritillaries & a common blue. Plenty of damselflies, mostly large reds. A salmon jumped in the Duchray water.
Around 4.6 billion people use the internet every day. In fact, 350,000 tweets have been sent in the past minute. We tend to think of the internet as something ephemeral – partly thanks to terms like “web” and “cloud” – but the servers that host all that data produce huge amounts of emissions, leaving giant carbon footprints behind.
I do not usually filter or edit but I though this was nice.
Email is a powerful tool, but it feels like using a shovel to cut down a tree.
Macdrifter is one of my favourite mac blogs. Disappeared for a while and recently sprung back to life. I noticed through the power of RSS.
This post takes a look at digital gardening and looks at some of the elements of IndieWeb & blogging I am interested in.

Ardinning morn
Lots of cuckoos calling this morning, caught glimpse of a few. Lots of other birdsong. Warm, sunny the best of the day and still didn’t meet a soul. Sweet Woodruff and bluebells under the trees. It clouded over a bit, but we saw a couple of Small Heath butterflies. A jay.
